Aprisa Mexican Cuisine

Great energy from the counter guy!!!!! Haven't even eaten my burrito yet but I had to give this ray of sunshine a shout out.

OK, I've eaten had the breakfast burrito with sausage. It's YUMMERS. The 5 stars now applies to service and food. Start your day off with Aprisa and it has to be a good day!

While the service at this drive through was fast and the serving plentiful for the price, I found the burrito I ordered was lackluster. Beef was tough and dry, fillings unevenly distributed. All the hot sauce was at one end with the sour cream, unfortunately these were my last bites. Was neither offered nor given additional sauce.

If you are into pseudo Mexican flavor and a big bite for the price this might be the spot for you. Personally won't be getting another to-go burrito from this spot.

Big heavy breakfast burritos at a convenient drive thru. Can't ask for more. You get to choose all the options like meat, type of beans, peppers or no, guacamole or spur cream. Coffees are GIANT. Both breakfast burrito and coffee last through lunch.

Great place for a single meal and for catering. Super nice staff, very helpful, great food and fair prices. Everything tastes fresh.

The Burrito Bar is the way to go when you want to feed a group of people ($13.50 per person). Super reasonably priced, comes with everything you need to please the pickiest eaters. (You can get breakfast catered for the same price, but I haven't tried that yet.)

We came to Apista for the first time today. The reviews looked solid and their website is clean. We arrived and placed our order of 2 carnitas tacos, 2 asada tacos, asada burrito and a side of rice and beans. The gentleman who took our order was very friendly and asked many questions to make sure the order was customized to our liking.
There's an outside eating area with 5 or 6 picnic tables. Some of the tables were a little broken but still usable.
We waited about 25 minutes for our food, seemed a little long but there were others there before us and you could see everyone was working.
They let me know that my food was ready. I had to remind them that I ordered rice and beans, no big deal. We sat in the outdoor area and dug in.
The carnitas tacos were ok, under seasoned for my taste and had no crispness to it. The asada tacos were also only ok. The meat was tender but, again, under seasoned. The asada burrito was good sized. The rice in the burrito was crunchy, under seasoned meat and really good guacamole. The side of rice and black beans was ok, nothing special.
Obviously this establishment has a following as we saw many people coming and going while we were here. This is not the Mexican food I seek out or would come back to.

I love this place so much! It's been 10 years since I've been back and they are here and just as tasty! Authentic Mexican food. They make their sour cream and carnitas asada!

Delicious food. Had the chicken burrito & steak bowl. I liked how they grilled their meat for added flavor. Everything was fresh and their tomatillo was really good.

Aprisa catered lunch for 15 people today, and everyone raved about the food. Ordering directly from the restaurant was easy, they were quick to respond, didn't charge for delivery, and knocked it out of the park with the food quality, presentation, and sustainable packaging. This was the best lunch-meeting in a very long time thanks to the care and quality of Aprisa!

Mexican food housed in a former ocean container at an out-of-the way intersection is an invitation to try.

The taste and feel is "authentic": not-mainstream like Chipotle, not a #2 taco platter with amigo chips like something you'd find in Beaverton, and not up and coming chef, bus your own dishes Portland fusion.

The torta bread comes from Woodburn, an area known for incredible Mexican food. Maybe from a Mexican bakery, the taste is difficult to replicate. An excellent sandwich, but somewhat difficult to eat clean. I opted for the veggie, I'm sure one of the meats provides even more flavor.

The breakfast taco for $2.95 is ample and delicious.

A SUGGESTION for the owner: the nice lady asked us about six questions when we ordered the taco: pinto or refried beans, mild, medium, or hot sauce, do you want lettuce, etc. Just sell it in the way you think it tastes best and the customer can opt out of certain ingredients. When she was about to go through the list of questions again for the torta I just said "the same as the taco."

Fewer questions will reduce the wait time in line.

I consider this place a little gem with decent parking and good outside (but no inside) seating.

I'm here because of the 4 star ratings. But I'm providing a 3 because it was average/good not great.

I had a soggy torta (sandwich) and the taco salad bowl was soggy, too. I suspect that was because they didn't use a slotted spoon when they put the beans on both. Couldn't pick up the sandwich it was so mushy.

The hot salsa was thick and had a nice smoky flavor. And the guacamole was very good. The chips are homemade although quite different from what I've had. Different texture but good.

So, perhaps a second trip will get me to raise the rating ; after all, I would like to try the tacos. We'll see.

Now, this place offers outdoor eating at some picnic tables - and there is a covered "shelter" but it smelled of urine to be very honest. Unfortunately the homeless in the area have few options and I think this shelter affords them some privacy. Sad but true.
